Selfless Management

Title: Selfless Management

Anyone who can create a vision with the ability to communicate it so powerfully to others in a way that they are almost willing to let go of their own visions and run with his or hers is a leader. Every leader will need a Manager/Managers to run with their vision as leadership and management are not the same ball game. But, every leader can become a manager just as every manager can become a leader.

One of the challenges I have noticed with running a successful business is the selfishness of a lot of business owners. Too many business owners are neither leaders nor managers; they are simply goal setters and goal getters. Well, to put it in a better way; there are more managers than leaders amongst business owners as I believe goal setter and getters will make good managers. But, my definition of a good manager is one who can manage people very well and bring out the best in them, not just one who can manage things. In other words, a good/balanced manager is one who develops great leadership skills.


The Deficit of Selfishness

Selfishness does more harm to the business owner than his employees as when you don’t have genuine concern for the people who work for you; they can’t have genuine concern for the business. And with time, they’ll develop a mind-set called ‘quit and stay’ in the American work environment; which represents when employees are no longer interested in a Job but are only working to pay their bills. That’s a common ground almost everywhere right? Once things gets to this level, its very bad for business. No people, no business.
You don't want to let that happen to you as an entrepreneur. The only option is to start managing selflessly. Very few business owners have time for their workers.
